1) Go off of bigger jumps
2) Spin slower
-> this can be achieved by not winding up on the takeoff of the jump.
3) Spin by throwing your shoulder, not your head
4) try and grab your skis

get good at skiing again, and then think about tucking into a little ball in the middle of your 3. keep it slow, and dont overrotate, but tuck up while keeping your hands forward. keep your eyes up, and stomp the poop out of it

Spinning slower really helps. Also try not to look over your shoulder too hard.

take off of the lip with a wide stance, and if your going for the grab, the closer your hand is, the easier it will be to get it in the air, so take off with a wide stance, bent knees, and keep your hands out in front of you, and not above your head or some crazy shit......

when you are all alone go off a jump and just practice tucking up. you might feel like a retard doing straight airs and tucking up but it will help you tuck your spins

Where did you get your clothes, the toilet store?

try not to think of raping little girls so you're not so erect in the air

get some enormous pants (XXL Obermyers works for me) and do what you normaly do. If the pants are big enough it will look like a steezey pencil. When you get sick of that, do criticals.

Actually getting really big pants works for me, cuz it puts me in the right mind set. But anyways not being pencil'd out is just something that you have to get used to. Once you get more comfortable and confident with your rotations they'll come together. Good luck.

On a 20-25 ft table Start by poping off, bending knees up, slow spin, look over shoulder for landing, stomp it. then you can easily add safety grab & stick 1 arm upwards which looks kinda cool. Try Cab which is easy & Tail grabs Then once your comfortable try to cork them out by lowering one shoulder. (depending on which side you spin). But get uncorked just before landing or else Bam. Good Luck its quite easy.

Keep throwing 3's and once you become comfortable with them, then you can start doing all that shit that's being posted above. Don't worry becasue style will come later on.

dont look over your shoulder hard, instead look more at the ground when you spin. I swear it fixes the porblem. I had the same problem at the start of the season and it worked for me

^^^^ shut up about how your 6 2' just because your tall doesnt mean its THAT much harder to have style, phil poirier is honestly like 6 5' and hes got sick style so quit your bickering and just practice
